Great question !
The rate at which an object covers distance, without worrying
about the direction it's moving, is the object's SPEED .
When the direction is also given, then you have the object's VELOCITY.
This question is important. It gives us a chance to point out that
"velocity" is not just a fancy word for speed that you use when you
want to sound smart. There's actually an important difference between
'speed' and 'velocity'.
Answer:
e = 0.0898m
v = 2.07m/s
Explanation:
a) According to Hooke's law
F = ke
e is the extension
k is the spring constant
Since F = mg
mg = ke
e = mg/k
Substitute the given value
e = 1.1(9.8)/120
e = 10.78/120
e = 0.0898m
Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length
2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential
Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²
Substitute the given value
5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²
Solve for v
5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338
5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²
2.36 =0.55v²
v² = 2.36/0.55
v² = 4.29
v ,= √4.29
v = 2.07m/s
Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s
B, this is because the particles in a solid such as the diamond can not move and even though they are locked into place they still vibrate
Answer: v = 4.4 m/s
Explanation:
In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy will be constant
KE₀ + PE₀ = KE₁ + PE₁
0 + mg(6) = ½mv₁² + mg(5)
½mv₁² = mg(6 - 5)
v = √(2g(1)) = 4.4 m/s
